Level: Easy
Total: 2 hr 45 min (includes cooling and chilling times)
Active: 15 min
Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients

Kosher salt
1 pound elbow macaroni
3 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 1/4 cups mayonnaise
1/4 cup whole milk, plus more if needed
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
2 cups shredded peeled carrots
3 scallions, thinly sliced, white and dark green parts separated
2 celery stalks, finely chopped
1/2 small yellow onion, grated
Freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add the macaroni and cook according to the package directions, adding 2 minutes. Drain and place into a large mixing bowl. Stir in the apple cider vinegar and allow to cool for 15 minutes.

Before transferring to a serving bowl, give it a good stir and add more milk, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed. Garnish with the scallion greens.

A friend got me hooked on a macaroni salad about 25 years ago now and it's a good thing I didn't know what was in it at the time or I'd probably of never tried it 😅 but you use 50 percent mayo and 50 percent ranch dressing and we add drained tuna in it and it is always a crowd pleaser

[allentrice]

I love about Molly Yeh! And oh yeah! And Macaroni salad! But seriously I want something to add for this salad! What else but new?!

[LiveGoodTheHealthyFoodLover]

Congratulations your recipes looks delicious 😋

[lindaswoveland]

In my humble opinion I have to have lots of eggs in my macaroni salad. Actually about 6 or 7 hard boiled egg yolks, I don't like the white of the egg, so I only use the yolks. I add finely diced mini sweet colored peppers, and a little fresh squeezed lemon juice and I like tuna in mine.
I bet your recipe is delicious, but my extras add goodness and tons of flavor!!!😋😋😋

I am thinking that a bit of crushed pineapple in it's own juice would be a nice addition to your 'tropical' macaroni salad.

[kelleyleblanc]

I wish Prime would add your new episodes!

[apriltownsend]

What's a good substitute for celery? I can't stand celery lol it's a texture thing

[sl]

needs diced green pepper and black olives.

[IOANNA]

Tell me, what’s the need on adding sugar?Macaroni is sweet enough.

[joebarnett]

Big question is... did you manage to resist eating all that MAC-salad 😂

[rodolfocabuslay]

I'm so happy right now cause i ate sugar

[angelapattillo]

Looks yummy except the raw onion I wonder if onion powder would work

[WriterSnider]

Oh, girl, just put the whole mayo jar in!

[robinkomoto]

If any actress could play Molly, its Jessica Alba.

[AuroraKelsey]

I just think these cooking shows would be so much better if they didn’t have to fake smile through the entire thing
